Perhaps the adverse criticism of this Lampoon will be that too much of its ample space is taken up with the reforming of the bad points of our dear enemy. Ridicule of our enemies has inevitably a sting which is absent from ridicule of ourselves. But it is all meant in good part, as simple fun, and after all, the puns and the really amusing illustrations that interrupt the sarcasm make it, as was intended, innocuous. The man who buys this number of the Lampoon, gets a great deal for his money, in space and in humor...
...notably below standard. The editorial is a sensible and tactfully written discussion of the question of Freshman clubs; and in "Varied Outlooks," J. Richardson, Jr., writes moderately in defence of athletics. The points he makes are good points, but they do not always bear on the objections they are meant to answer. Team-play does indeed cultivate honesty and unselfishness, but it is quite possible without the commercializing of athletics, which it is here used to defend.

...Senior picnic, coming as it does but once in the history of each class, is apt to be underrated. It is an occasion, however, which few men have attended in former years without bringing back memories of a day pleasantly spent in the company of friends who have meant much to them during their undergraduate course. It is this memory of good-fellowship and an indescribable feeling of loyalty to Harvard which will bring many of us back to re-unions after graduation. In short the picnic is a class outing which no Senior can afford to miss, even though...
